#asexuality spectrum

[ladykvetchingradish]

my friend forgot the word for asexual and so he was giving me advice and said:

"tell this person you're not interested in them because you're....uh.....*smacks lips* .......*hand gestures*....ehhh....you...do....mitosis?"

and then looked very proud of himself

Be Ace. Do Mitosis.

hey, literally don't fuck if you're not intO that I support you

[pinkypkmntrainer]

you're allowed to identify as asexual because of trauma. you're allowed to identify as asexual because of neurodivergence. it doesn't mean that you "aren't really asexual" or that it's something that needs to be fixed because your lack of sexual attraction was caused by something else. your asexuality doesn't have to be completely disconnected from every other aspect of you to be valid. i'm happy to be sharing this label with you. platonic kiss on the forehead.

Keep the AAPI Heritage Month celebrations going with Tremor the FIRST Asexual character in DC Comics history! She really paved the Way for Asexuals like Conner Hawke to shine.

She's a big deal but I've never seen her play a big role in other series, if you know of some she's in please do let me know I'll check them out and recommend them!

ON MY SHIT AGAIN

but I just saw a post that mentioned people not wanting to see "mature content" as "clutching their pearls"

like can we please fucking acknowledge that having a dislike or repulsion from sex has nothing to do with a moral dilemma about it or it being how delicate and fragile we are and can't handle seeing anything sexual without fainting

some people just don't like

we don't want to see it

doesn't mean I'm a little bitch baby wimp about it

I don't care what people do or talk about or enjoy I just don't personally want to be a part of any of it

why is that so hard for people to understand

it's like Star Wars

a lot of people really like Star wars or enjoy it in some capacity

a lot of people don't

I, as a crazy hardcore Star Wars fan, am not going to criticize other people and call them prudes or babies for not being interested in seeing Star Wars content

that's their life choice I respect it

why can't we respect people for not being interested in seeing sexual content in the same way

it's just a personal thing whether or not people are into it or not

why does it have to be about how we're so weak and wimpy and little babies that can't handle it or some stuck up prude that feels morally superior for not talking about it

we just don't like it

be normal about that
